    I have never been more excited for an MMO.

    Seriously, my first gaming memory is trying to beat the spider boss on the first sigma level with my dad.

    We never beat it.

    Man, that guy is still a bitch.

    I can't search the thread for URU (too short) but Myst comes back with nothing.

    Anybody playing URU Myst Online? Right now I'm waiting for a friend to return stateside, get his internet set up again, and get back to finding power sources for inscrutable machinery with me.

    We'll get back there someday.

    Oh man I just looked that up on Google. Is EQ2 going to die? I can't think of another reason for SOE to go F2P.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    I thought it was doing relatively well compared to a certain other MMO despite everything. Apparently that was not the case.

    I think this'll get them more revenue that simply churning out another expansion. The game is already so complex that it seriously repulses me to open a menu. Just look at the amount of hotkeys there are. You can operate a Cesna with less buttons and switches.

    Making it F2P (with serious restrictions: only 4 races, 8 classes, can't reach max lev, no auction house, no whispers...) invites people to try the game without time pressure. It gives people a chance to sniff at EQ2 and get an idea of the stuff that's available.

    Me for me, I wish they'd give Vanguard the same treatment. I've always been interested in the game, but I'm not good at trials because I tend to get distracted halfway through the period.

    To be honest, megaman was before my time, so it doesn't really interest me
    don't get the kind of feeling people who have played all the older games would get from seeing that video
    my opinion is flawed, but I'd still have no interest in playing if they don't show me what it would be like

    while I loved the mega man games, I have to agree I can't really see it working as an mmo

    plus that video didn't even seem like it was for an mmo

    No idea. The ones we just unlocked have to be further unlocked with turbine points. And a couple unlock when we get to guild level 21.

    Hot damn we completed the newest questline tonight: defending some drow tribe's territory from saughalahgalbahblagin. It took a while, but the loot and exp was worth it I believe.
